It’s been an interesting first week of my alcohol-free diet. First things first, it’s been way easier than I anticipated it would be. I’ve been able to go to bed relatively early and am getting some decent sleep. I’ve logged 14 miles running with another 6 planned today, plus 28 miles on the bike. It’s windy as fuck today, so I might wait until tomorrow to hit the extra 6 before this weekend’s “Longer” runs. Not really going to push it. On Saturday I plan on hitting Drummer for the first time this year. Chris wants to check out the course for this June’s Race and I always like going up there. Depending on how that goes, I’ll head out Sunday for some junk miles or maybe hit the gym and do a little treadmill and bike work.

Onto the computer side of things. I’ve been thinking about upgrading my graphics card for months now and I’m finally settling on a card. I’m thinking about the AMD R9 380. It’s locking around Amazon and Newegg for around $200, and maybe in a few weeks I can pull the trigger on it, we’ll see. I’m not going to lie, it’s all about playing Fallout 4. I wish I could finagle something about needing it for work, but it ain’t. I was able to play Witcher 3 on my current card at low settings and it wasn’t terrible, but I’m super jealous of the details I missed, and don’t want the same thing to happen with Fallout 4.
